I don't live life in little bubbles and neither do kids (OK are we in the "Science" bubble or the "Religion" bubble?). All this is very appropriate for school classroom discussion, IMHO.

But not in science classes! Don't you see that science classes should be for science?

Classes in philosophy or other subjects may be appropriate for inclusion of this debate, but science is limited to fields which can produce scientific evidence.

Well, if I were teaching, I guess I'd be constantly trying to pop my little assigned bubble then! I'd just title the class 'Origins' then so I could discuss both, because it's all interrelated.

Any discussion of evolution must be open to a very philosophical and theoretical discussion, IMHO. It ain't memorizing Periodic tables and drawing stipple Amoebas.
